HD2Runtime ModBuilder 1.4.2

Support for HD2Runtime 0.28.1, a much faster Changes page for large projects, and clearer armory labels.

Download: HD2Runtime-ModBuilder-v1.4.2-win-x64.zip (Windows 10/11 x64). Extract it and run HD2RuntimeModBuilder.exe, or use Install update from any earlier version.

New projects require HD2Runtime 0.28.1. Projects bound to an older SDK keep requiring that SDK's Runtime until you rebind them.

HD2Runtime 0.28.1

  • ModBuilder 1.4.2 ships the HD2Runtime 0.28.1 SDK and uses it for new projects, offline too. Every SDK file it reads is byte-identical to the one in the public 0.28.1 release. The capabilities are the same as 0.28.0's; code completion for custom Lua adds hd2.diagnostics.operations().
  • Your projects keep their SDK. Updating ModBuilder never changes the SDK a project is bound to, and never rewrites the project. Its export keeps declaring that SDK, which HD2Runtime 0.28.1 reads: an SDK 0.27 project's edits that HD2Runtime 0.28.0 refused for a missing allow_unverified_effect (the PLAS-101 Purifier's explosion damage, for example) apply again on 0.28.1, where they are logged as legacy operations.
  • Rebinding a project to SDK 0.28.1 (Settings) keeps its edits, writes the acknowledgements the 0.28 SDKs require, and exports a mod that requires 0.28.1. A project bound to SDK 0.28.0 generates the same operations after rebinding.

Performance

  • The Changes page opens and responds much faster in large projects. With 600 changes, opening the page drops from about 5 s to under 0.1 s, switching one edit off or on from about 4 s to under 0.1 s, and Show all fields in a weapon group from about 12 s to instant.
  • A change group builds its fields and editors when you expand it, not while it is collapsed.
  • Each edit does less work: a value committed again unchanged is not saved and rebuilt again, and the checks behind the Lua preview run once per edit instead of twice.
  • This is ModBuilder's own speed. How long HD2Runtime takes to apply a mod's changes in game is unchanged: every change is still its own Runtime operation, so one refused change never stops the others.

Armory labels

  • Support weapons: the trait list from the Helldivers wiki is now labelled Wiki: … and shown in full (it was cut to three). The labels the game's armory shows are under Armory labels, read from the weapon itself; the two can differ (the M-1000 Maxigun's own record lists none).
  • A weapon that shows several penetration labels (SG-20 Halt, LAS-17 Double-Edge Sickle, P-33 Missile Pistol) no longer reads "No penetration label"; the reason from HD2Runtime is shown.
  • The two INCENDIARY labels are told apart in the Add trait list by their IDs.

Unchanged

  • The project format is unchanged, and so are the operations generated for a project on its own SDK.
